Concept: Mapping Fields in Data Change Tasks
When you create or edit a data change task, you define how to map fields from the source to target table fields. When you define the field mappings:
- You can map some or all target fields.
- Workday marks the target field specified as the delete key, update key, or upsert key as required. When the target operation is delete, the only field you need to map is the delete key field.
- Workday displays source fields that are compatible with the target field.
Numeric fields are compatible when the digits before and after the decimal in the source field are less than or equal to the digits in the target field. Example: You can map an Integer or Numeric (8,0) source field to a Numeric(10,0) or Numeric(12,2) target field, but you can't map a Numeric(20,6) to a Numeric(20,5).
Instance and Multi-Instance fields are compatible when the business object for both fields are the same.
